those of you that have had a corsa B and moved onto something bigger and more powerful, more expensive.
Do you miss driving a small car that you can rag about and not actually be travelling at deadly speeds.
driving mine at lunch i realise i do love my little corsa, its good fun, and the fact i don't feel protective of it means you can enjoy it more.
just feel i gonna miss having a cheapy car that i not trying to keep immaculate
would keep the corsa, but have no where to park it

yours was a slow model tho, i think the 1.4's and 1.6's are quite good fun without being dangerous

I missed my silver SXi until I finnished the Nova, with the Corsa once I had finnished it I always wanted to sell it and get something different, not the case with the Nova I just want to keep improving it 
Oldest car I have owned but best by far

same with my Astra... its deffo the best car I have owned by a long way
there are times when I have had enough and cant be arsed with fixing it any more, but then when it all comes together again and I go out for a play, I realise just why I enjoy it so much...
its not the quickest hatch out there, but its certainly a laugh to drive!

I was surprised at how my GSi entertained me - from going from a Calibra Turbo to that i thought i would find it underpowered. But it proved fun.
Even though i have a Cav Turbo now - i would more than happy buy another Corsa to bone around in when i can find one and take the Cav off the road.

I miss my old SRI sometimes, but i think that's just because it was my first car. The lad that bought it from me lives in my town so i still see it occassionally.
